Valerie Jarrett: These Riots Are Symptomatic Of A Boiling Over Of Anger That Has Been Building For Generations
RCP video ^ | 5-30-2020 | Ian Schwartz

Posted on 05/31/2020 5:53:17 AM PDT by Sir Napsalot

Former Obama senior adviser Valerie Jarrett talks about the death of George Floyd and what needs to be done to prevent officer-involved shootings in the future.

(Snip)

JARRETT: "... before there were cell cameras, there were examples that didn’t get captured on video. And so this is a huge problem of breakdown of trust between police and communities of color.

Every black family I know who has a son, worries about how they're going to fare when they leave the house, and now we've seen examples when you don’t even have to leave your house and you're put in harm's way. And I think that although I believe in peaceful demonstrations, I think these riots are symptomatic of a boiling over of anger that has been building up for generations, where people have lost confidence that the justice system will actually be just, that the rule of law will protect them.....

President Obama created a 21st Century task force that made very concrete recommendations, Gerry, about how to go about rebuilding that trust...

And so that trust really works both ways and keeps everyone safe. So what I would like to see is a better tone at the top, not one that's threatening violence and using guns to help quell this unrest, but rather constructively sit down and say, what can we do to bridge this gulf?

As if ValJarr has any credibility on just about anything.

Look, she didn't admit the progressive movement for the last 6 - 8 decades leftward turn didn't solve (let alone address) any of the social problems facing the society.

Her tiresome advice on "better tone at the top" is the same old Obama crap. Did Obama improve any of the social divide, with his so-called suave tone? What happened to the 'task force', besides soaking up more taxpayer money?

“who has a son, worries about how they’re going to fare when they leave the house,”

Act like a decent person, you get treated like one. Act like a gang thug, get treated like one.

I have an idiot in my family who is half black with high level security clearance who will wear the race card chip on his shoulder for life . He thinks looting and robbing are justified.

I am horrified. His Black Father is horrified as well.

The country would be better off if Valerie Jarret would shut up, pack and move to a country more suited to her.

What a bunch of fools we all are.

This is what Americans did not 30 days ago and were called literal Nazis.

Next time we should set a Wendy's on fire, because "Our Peaceful Voices weren't Heard

The only way to fight this evil and the evil race hucksters trying to destroy our culture, our great country and the world is thru God.

Come Holy Spirit, and renew the face of the Earth!

She is lying. Is Antifa mad or glad about George Floyd’s death? Is Black Lives Matter upset, or happy?

And who has been pounding that drumbeat for generation after generation? Teaching young black people that they have no place in society? Teaching them to mistrust law enforcement even while criminals freely prey upon the families that are just trying to live their lives? Teaching them that their own failures are the fault of some ambiguous "racism" instead of teaching them the skills and attitudes they need to succeed? And, above all, what did Obama do to change that culture of failure?

Isn't Valerie Jarrett the woman who looks white, but criticizing or insulting her is somehow a racist act against blacks?

Don’t think she has anything to say that doesn’t favor Obama, hence she has nothing to say that I need to hear.

These ANTIFA riots are nothing less than Obama’s coup part 2.

Both Biden and Jarrett need to move out of the basement.

Especially if they live in crime-infested drug-ridden economically-destroyed urban areas that have been under total Dem Party political control for over half a century.
